A day out

Yesterday we had a day out with a drive up into Georgia, the weather was cool but mostly clear.

First stop was Jasper Florida where I wanted to see one of the oldest correction buildings in the county. The Old Jail was build in the late 1800's.


Onward up into Georgia where we kept seeing signs for Big Rosies so had to stop, the pecans were overpriced in comparison of what we get in Arizona but we bought Orange Blossom Honey, now does that sound good.

In Georgia we visited two cities, Valdosta and Thomas ville, we toured the old historic areas to see some of the old homes that have so much class.

Here are a couple friends from Canada.




The old homes are so beautiful to see, you can imagine how wonderful it must have been to have lived in one way back then.





In Thomasville they have a very old Live Oak tree, it was amazing. The sign on the road warned that overhead was 9' as it hung out right over the road.



More signs of spring



Ron and the truck look very little standing by the big oak.



On our way home we went through Monticello Florida, had a nice day out.
This next picture is the little lake in the park, we never seem to get up there at night to see the water fowl all lit up.

The trees around the lake have such funny bases and roots, very interesting.




So tomorrow we move 200 miles west to DeFuniak Springs which still is in Florida but we will be about 15 miles south of the Alabama border so will do some poking around in Alabama.
